Top site for cycling

A lovely campsite located on a canal with a number of attractions nearby.

Our Devizes Club campsite is a lovely quiet and secluded retreat by the side of the Avon and Kennet Canal in the heart of Wiltshire. The surrounding countryside, ideal for walkers and cyclists, is where you’ll find some of the UK’s most significant prehistoric sites including the iconic Stonehenge and Avebury Stone circle.

This well-kept, tree-lined campsite provides 90 pitches, some lined by hedging to give a more private feel. In addition to the amenity blocks, campers can expect a children’s play area and playing field and a large dog field.

You can walk or cycle into Devizes from the campsite via the spectacular Caen Hill flight of 29 locks or catch a bus from the stop a five minute walk from site. Buses also operate to Melksham, Bath and Bristol from here.

This bustling historic town has weekly general and collectors' markets and a regular farmers' market. Wadworth's Brewery is here. See its famous shire horses make deliveries in town. Sample the ales at the visitor centre where tours of the brewery and stables can be booked. Also in the town is the Wiltshire Heritage Museum where you'll find Britain’s best Bronze Age archaeology collections. The Kennet and Avon Canal Trust Museum alongside the canal is where you’ll discover the fascinating story of this delightful waterway.

Further afield Longleat and its 900 acres of parkland is a great family day out.

Worth Noting

Fishing available on the canal. Fees payable at reception. Rock pegs needed for hardstandings.

Two local pubs within walking distance, the Magpie 2 minutes walk or the Barge nice walk along...

Two local pubs within walking distance, the Magpie 2 minutes walk or the Barge nice walk along the Avon and Kennet canal or just a short drive both serve good meals at reasonable prices.
Will definitely be back later this year, although we plan on visiting other sites during the summer, lets hope they are all up to this standard.

The area around the campsite is beautiful, you have a lovely canal next door to the campsite...

The area around the campsite is beautiful, you have a lovely canal next door to the campsite with Caen locks - a wonderful walk with a lovely little cafe for drinks and snacks nearing the top of the locks, you can get a bus into Devizes or the other way to Bath which has lots to see including the Roman Baths and the Hershal museum (if you like astronomy, there are plenty of places to eat in both Devizes and Bath. We loved here and will definitely be visiting again. The site has a good playground and field for the children and a small field for dogs to have a good run around, it has also been kept beautifully, clean, tidy and a pleasure to visit.

I walked to Devizes, up the Caen Hill locks. A great couple of hours walking.

I walked to Devizes, up the Caen Hill locks. A great couple of hours walking. Also walked other way towards Melksham. This is a good site if you have a dog as there is good walking along the canal and over the fields. Get an OS map as there are loads of paths. Pub is OK, though they insist on dogs to be in the "public bar" as people eat in the "lounge". Funny that as all the people in the "public" were eating too! Pub's OK. Didnt manage to try The Bridge further down the canal. I like this site.
